Multicultural Matryoshka Dolls

As a recovering etsy addict, I can usually always find something (or 10 things) to covet and love on that site (e.g., girls’ dresses and skirts, knitted toddler hats, baby blankets, art for kids room, art for adult walls, etc.). I was excited to stumble upon this very cool, multicultural product for kids: matryoshka art prints and magnets by Amy Perrotti on etsy.com. She draws matryoshka dolls with different cultures featured. This is just a small sample of some of her work–it’s original, bright and fun. Can you find your culture?

There’s no Moroccan doll, which is not a critique as she features many diverse cultures, so I am going to rephrase that to say there’s no Moroccan doll yet.

Thank you for the post! I can’t wait to explore this wonderful site. We adopted our daughter from China in 2001.

I’ve been drawing my Matryoshka for 2 years now and I’m up to 50 illustrations and still drawing. I have a suggestions list I work from, it is located in the right hand column of my blog here: http://amyperrotti.blogspot.com
Good news, Moroccan has been suggested and isn’t very far down on my list! I can’t wait to draw her. I’ll let you know once she is complete. If your readers have any suggestions they can leave a comment on my blog and I will add it to my list.

Great find, Stephanie! I remember getting a set of matryoshka dolls from my favorite aunt. She was always going on these exotic trips to places like Mongolia and China (this is back before China was the popular travel destination it is today) and bringing back cool souvenirs. Later, once I started working in international development, I remember seeing these dolls all over Central Asia with each doll representing a world leader, i.e. G.W.Bush nestled inside Clinton nestled inside Yeltsin, etc. They made for very non-partisan gifts LOL. Amy, I didn’t see Turkey listed on your suggestion list. Can you add that country? And have you ever thought of making male matryoshkas? Love your matryoshka gift boxes too.
